What's going on behind doors...

I think the New York Times portrays what's going on behind closed doors in Iraq and what exactly Americans want and what makes Iraqi Shiite-dominated government concern.

The Americans want to get the controversial oil law passed to have it as a "success" to the congress in Septembers while Shiite Prime Minister Nourial-Mailiki, who couldn't dream of being a head of a local council before, concerns about a conspiracy from his Sunni neighbors to topple him.

I think this is another clear evidence to those who believe that Americans have come here to liberate Iraq and spread democracy and consider their soldiers as heroes to protect America from terrorist attacks by occupying and killing the people of other country.

While they are only mercenaries to achieve the American dream in getting cheap oil.

“We called it our Berlin Wall,” said Saad Khalef, 41, told The NYT on March 6 story as he surveyed the newly uncovered ground where the walls had stood, as crushed and pale as the skin beneath a bandage. “Now we can breathe easy. Yesterday, I felt a breeze coming through, I swear to God.”The NYT's Anthony Shadid in a piece on Jan. 6, 2011 two days after Muqtada Al-Sadr's return from nearly four-year self-imposed exile in Iraq: In 2004, an American spokesman in Baghdad called Mr. Sadr “a two-bit thug.” On Wednesday, the State Department spokesman, Philip J. Crowley, called him “the leader of an Iraqi political party that won a number of seats in the March 2010 election.”
